ABSTRACT

The present invention relates to an improvement for a leads the light chart shape of a leads the light board so as to resolve the problems of illumination and degree of uniformity of the conventional leads the light boards. The leads the light board of the present invention has line-shaped passages which are located in parallel with the direction of light from the light emitting diodes. The depth of the passages becomes deeper gradually from one end to the other, wherein the source of light is located close to the shallow end, thereby the light from the light emitting diodes is transmitted to the remote areas that are located far from the source of light. The present invention increases the total illumination and the degree of uniformity, and the efficiency of the light emitting diode is also increased.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to an improvement for a leads the light chart shape of a leads the light board and which is used on the important industry regarding leads the light board and illuminating products, and is already used in cellular phones, PDAs, and watches. The leads the light chart shape of the leads the light board of the present invention increases the illumination evenly and the efficiency of the light emitting diode.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The conventional leads the light board technique employs a high refraction leads the light board and several light emitting diodes (LED). There is a leads the light chart shape in a form of several spots on the leads the light board, and the spots illuminate by the light from the light emitting diodes (the light refraction). The technique is used in the market for a period of time and plays a main role in products of the night light kneading boards. Nevertheless, the conventional technique has the following shortcomings:

[0003] 1. The efficiency of light leading of the spot leads the light chart shape is not satisfied, and the density of the leads the light chart shape is limited (the density of the optimum refraction is fixed and cannot be increased as needs), so that the spots and degree of uniformity on the leads the light board are not satisfied.

[0004] 2. The spot of the leads the light chart shape has to use expensive V-CUT precision machining (making a V-shaped groove in a single light cable by the precision machining device) to made a mold. The use of the V-CUT increases the manufacturing and the product cost.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0005] The primary object of the present invention is to provide an improvement for a leads the light chart shape of a leads the light board and increase the illumination and the degree of uniformity. Line-shaped passages are defined in the leads the light board and parallel to the direction of the light. The depth of the passage is shallow close to the source of light and gradually deeper close the remote position from the source of light. This allows the light form the light emitting diodes to be transferred to a remote area that is far away from the source of light so as to increase the illumination and the degree of uniformity. The efficiency of the leads of light of the light emitting diodes can also be further increased.

[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide an improvement for a leads the light chart shape of a leads the light board with uses production technique that is less expensive. The present invention makes line-shaped passages for leading the light on the leads the light board so that the manufacturers do not need to use expensive and precise molds made by V-CUT so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

[0007] The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0016] Referring to FIGS. 1, 3 and 4, the improvement for a leads the light chart shape of a leads the light board comprises a leads the light board 10 which is a transparent board and light may go through the board. Several line-shaped passages 11 are defined in the surface of the board 10 and form a leads the light chart shape. The passages 11 are parallel with each other and each passage 11 has U-shaped refraction surface 12. One end 13 of the passage 11 has a shallow bottom and the passage 11 gradually goes deeper toward the other end 14.

[0017] At least one light emitting diode 20 is connected to a side of the leads the light board 10 and performs as a source of light. The light emitting diodes 20 is located close to the shallow end 13 of the passage 11 and the light of the light emitting diode 20 is parallel with the passages 11.

[0018] A preferred embodiment is described for the purpose of clearly interpretation of the present invention, referring to FIG. 4, when the light emitting diode 20 is activated, due to the fact that the light of the light emitting diode 20 is parallel with the passage 11 and located close to the shallow end 13 of the passage 11, the light of the light emitting diode 20 goes through the passages 11 and is refracted by the U-shaped refraction surface 12. The light from the light emitting diode 20 is transmitted to the whole leads the light chart shape of the leads the light board 10, no matter the position on the leads the light board 10 is close to or remote from the source of light. The light is lead form the shallow end 13 and magnified in the deeper end 14 so that the light can be spread evenly and the efficiency of the leading of light of the light emitting diode 20 is increased. The passages 11 in the leads the light board 10 are incorporated with the light emitting diode 20 to increase the illumination of the leads the light board 20 and the degree of uniformity of the leads the light chart shape on the whole leads the light board 10. The efficiency of the leading of light of the light emitting diode 20 is increased.

[0019] It is to be noted that the concave line-shaped passages 11 in the leads the light board 10 do not need precision machining such as the expensive V-CUT (making a V-shaped groove with even depth in single light cable by precision machining device) to made the mold so that the manufacturing cost of the leads the light board 10 is less expensive and total cost is then reduced.

[0020] Referring to FIG. 3, the passages 11 may also be made to be V-shaped and includes V-shaped refraction surface 30 which has various features and should be involved in the scope of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 5, the passages 11 may also be made to be protrusion blocks 31 which are arranged in a certain sequence. The shape of the blocks 31 close to the end 32 of the passage is fine, and is larger gradually when approaching the other end 33. No matter what the shape of the passage 11 is, concave passages, concave passages, or protrusion blocks, the various types of function are in the scope of the present invention.

[0021] Referring to FIGS. 6, 7 and 8, the light emitting diodes 20 are located at one end of the line-shaped passages 11, if the passages 11 are arranged in a cruciform arrangement, the light of the light emitting diodes 20 spreads toward two ends of the passages 11 and light changes in the deep and shallow areas in the passages so as to have various types of features. Therefore, the present invention can be used in different ways and different products.

[0022] The line-shaped grooves in the leads the light board are located in parallel to the light of the light emitting diodes. The passages has shallow ends close to the source of light and deeper ends located far from the source of light, thereby transmitting the light of the light emitting diodes to remote areas on the leads the light board and increasing the illumination and the degree of uniformity of the light board.
